The Lambs Foundation Supports AEA Foundation in Honor of Scott Glascock

The Lambs Foundation announces an annual campaign of support to educational programs conducted by the AEA Foundation, called The Lambs Foundation Glascock Award in recognition of Scott Glascock, a member of The Lambs, Actors' Equity, and VP to the Foundation, whose generous bequest to The Lambs Foundation allows us to continue our mission. The Grant is in recognition of the 105-year history of The Lambs with Actors' Equity.

Judith Rice, President of Actors' Equity Foundation noted "We are over the moon with this very generous annual gift. These funds will enable us to expand our educational programs, providing great value to the development of the actor's career." Marc Baron, President of The Lambs Foundation, stated "We are proud to support the work of Actors' Equity Foundation, marking 75 years of our mission in supporting education in the arts."

The Lambs is America's oldest professional theatrical organization, founded in New York in 1874. In 1913 Actors' Equity Association was founded by members of The Lambs. Among the twenty-one original Council members of Equity, twenty were Lambs, and the union name was coined by The Lambs' Shepherd, William Cortleigh.

The Lambs formed the Lambs' Servicemen's Morale Corps in 1943, and in 1961 it was re-titled The Lambs Foundation, a 501c3 charity marking its 75th year. The Foundation supports non-profit theater and education in the arts, is run by an all-volunteer board and is supported by donations and bequests. For example, Frederick Loewe left a portion of his royalties from Brigadoon to the Foundation as thanks for years of support, and in recognition of first meeting Lamb Alan Jay Lerner in the Club.

The Actors' Equity Foundation was formed in 1962 to support the professional theater community by investing in theatre and theater artists.
